This position is to serve as the Clinical Research Coordinator for Community Responsive and Engaged Equity Research (CREER) in Mental Health projects within the Department of Psychiatry and Neuroscience, primarily the National Institute of Mental Health funded project titled, Community Health Worker Navigation to Support Mental Health. The study aims to improve mental health access and economic opportunity in the Mission District of San Francisco by expanding the community health workforce, strengthening cross-sector partnerships across health, social, and economic sectors, and addresses upstream structural factors such as housing instability, stigma, and fragmented care systems.

By integrating traditional healing practices, health promotion, financial capacity building, and system coordination, the project aims to improve sustainable community resilience and to advance structural change to promote better mental health for all. The CRC for this center will work closely with Dr. Lisa Fortuna and project collaborators and partners, to help coordinate and support the research grant. Under the supervision of the Clinical Research Supervisor, the CRC will provide research assistance through a variety of tasks including: (1) aiding with participant recruitment, consenting, enrollment and retention;
